The Best Led Zeppelin Wallpapers

Led Zeppelin were formed in London in 1968 and are usually credited with inventing heavy metal (this statement is understandable though not entirely true). Their scope was far wider than just being known as the inventor of whatsoever. The band wrote so many magnificent songs, they innovate in the sound in a large scale: never the drums, bass, guitar and vocal were so powerful reunited together.

Back in 1968, they first appeared in media as being a ‘hot new English group’ that ‘have signed a long-term exclusive recording contract with Atlantic Records’. On the guitar a man that has a history with The Yardbirds, where he had succeed Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck as lead guitarist – Jimmy Page; a bassist that has arranger hit records for Donovan and The Rolling Stones – John Paul Jones; a drummer well respected and already known by his notorious solos as a member of Tim Roses’s touring band – John Bonham; an reputed singer as ‘one of England’s outstanding young blues singers’ –Robert Plant. So, what the world were expecting? Let me explain better:

* They have been awarded five Diamond albums, as well as fourteen Multi-Platinum, four Platinum and one Gold album in the United States, while in the UK they have five Multi-Platinum, six Platinum, one Gold and four Silver albums;
